Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of knitting, on a knitting machine having independently operable needles disposed in at least two needle beds, for example a flat V-bed machine, an article having a double jersey structure and which comprises two areas having respective edges which are joined together on the machine, during the knitting of the article, so that wales on opposite sides of the join between said edges are inclined to one another.
- a knitting machine having independently operable needles disposed in at least two needle beds, for example a flat V-bed machine, an article having a double jersey structure and which comprises two areas having respective edges which are joined together on the machine, during the knitting of the article, so that wales on opposite sides of the join between said edges are inclined to one another.
- an article of the kind referred to Such an article will be referred to hereinafter as "an article of the kind referred to”.
- Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings are plans illustrating a conventional way of producing an article of the kind referred to on a flat V-bed knitting machine, Figure 1 being a purely schematic diagram to illustrate the knitting procedure, and Figure 2 being a diagram of the knitted article.
- a piece 1 of fabric is first knitted with courses of equal length to form a rectangular fabric extending from a starting course 2 to a course 3. Needles of the machine are then progressively rendered inactive in the direction from left to right, as viewed in Figure 1, so that as knitting continues, in the direction of the arrow A, shorter and shorter courses are produced to form a piece 4 of fabric of trapezoidal shape extending from course 3 to course 5. As each needle is rendered inactive it retains the last loop it knitted. When course 5 has been knitted, progressive re-activation of the inactive needles is performed during the knitting of a further piece 6 of fabric between courses 5 and 7, the piece 6 also being of trapezoidal shape.
- Knitted joins of the kind described above are frequently used in the production of knitted garments.
- the article shown in Figure 2 may form part of the shoulder region of a cardigan, where the fabric piece 1 forms part of a body panel of the cardigan and the fabric piece 11 forms part of a sleeve of the cardigan.
- the sleeve part of the cardigan is automatically inclined to the body panel as the knitting proceeds.
- Joins of this type used at the arm -pits of a sleeved garment are described and illustrated in GB-A- 1094 103.
- edges 8 and 9 are not exactly straight owing to the step-wise inactivation and subsequent step-wise re-activation of needles of the machine. Instead, the edges 8 and 9 have a stepped configuration, as shown in Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings, which is a schematic view, on an enlarged scale, of part of the join between the edges 8 and 9 of the article of Figure 2. From Figure 3 it will be seen that the joining of the two edges 8 and 9 results in the formation of a series of holes 13 in the fabric along the join. The area of these holes will be the larger the greater the angles R and S (in Figure 1) are chosen. Generally speaking, the existence of these holes 13 becomes apparent when either of the angles R and S exceeds 45 degrees.
- the edges 8 and 9 are approximately straight.
- the edges 8 and 9 may have a generally convex or concave curvature, as shown in Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings, which is a diagram similar to Figure 1 relating to a modified form of the article of Figure 2.
- the problem of hole formation when the curved edges 8a and 9a, in Figure 4, are joined again begins to become apparent when either of the angles R and S exceeds 45 degrees.
- the angles R and S denote the inclination to the knitting line X - X of tangents to the curved edges 8a and 9a at points such as G and H on these two edges which are joined to one another in the finished article.
- angles R and S have different values at different points along the edges 8a and 9a. Therefore, when the edges 8a and 9a are joined during the knitting procedure, the formation of holes along the join may not be apparent when the angles R and S are less than 45 degrees (for example in the regions FG and FH of the edges 8a and 9a), but will become increasingly apparent, in the direction from right to left, as viewed in Figure 4, as the angles R and S exceed 45 degrees (for example in the regions GB and HD of the edges 8a and 9a).
- the appearance of the holes 13 along a join line may not be objectionable and, indeed, may be desirable, for example to produce a decorative effect in the join between a sleeve part and a body panel of a cardigan.
- a series of holes along a join may be objectionable.
- the presence of a series of holes along a join may reveal the presence of underlying structure, such as padding material, which spoils the appearance of the fabric.
- edge 8 is knitted along a needle bed length equal to the distance BC.
- edge 9 is knitted along a needle bed length equal to the distance DE.
- BF is greater than BC and DF is greater than DE, this means that the knitted fabric is stretched slightly along the join between the edges 8 and 9. This stretching is accommodated by the elastic nature of the fabric.
- DE-A-2,708,722 describes the knitting of double jersey fabrics on a flat V-bed machine.
- the concern is to be able to knit continuously in moving from an area of double jersey (referred to as "jersey") knitting to rib knitting for example at the border of a knitted garment.
- This is achieved by stitch transfer between needle beds using a presser foot which is adjustable for operation at two levels suitable for each respective type of knitting.
- the present invention aims to provide a method of knitting, on a knitting machine having independently operable needles disposed in at least two needle beds, an article of the kind referred to in which steps are taken to render less apparent the above-described holes along said joint of the article.
- the invention also includes an article knitted by the method.
- a method of knitting, on a knitting machine having independently operable needles disposed in at least two needle beds, an article of the kind referred to is characterised by the steps of knitting a single jersey edging along at least part of the length of, and integrally with, each of said edges, each of said edging being knitted on from one to six needles in each of the courses of knitting which form said at least part of the length of each of said edges, and joining adjacent edges of said edgings, during the knitting of the article, to form the join between said areas of the article.
- each of the single jersey edgings is knitted on two needles in each of the courses of knitting which form said at least part of the length of each of said edges.
- the adjacent edges of the two single jersey edgings are joined directly to one another.
- any holes formed along the join between said areas will occur in the single jersey edgings.
- These single jersey edgings are less elastic than the main double jersey structure of the article, so that as said areas are stretched, in the region of the join formed therebetween, the single jersey edgings are less easily stretched than the double jersey fabric to which they are attached. The result of this is that the loops in the single jersey edgings are tightened and thus become smaller than the loops in the adjacent double jersey structure. The effect of this is to reduce the size of any holes formed along the join between the single jersey edgings.
- this second embodiment of the method according to the invention it is also possible to omit the knitting of at least one of the single jersey edgings. Where an edging is omitted, then during the knitting of the article, the two superimposed strips of single jersey knitting are joined directly to the adjacent edge of the area of double jersey knitting and, where an edging is present, one of the strips is jointed to the edging.
- an edging is knitted on that edge of the area of double jersey knitting which is knitted later in the knitting sequence, i.e. edge 9 shown in Figure 5 of the accompanying drawings.
- each of the two superimposed strips of single jersey knitting comprises two courses.
- the method according to the invention may be employed in the knitting of articles of the kind referred to having any known structure of mainly double jersey kind, for example any rib structure, or a two colour Jacquard fabric with a bird's eye backing.
- the single jersey edgings may comprise all knitted stitches or may comprise knitted stitches and tuck stitches, for example alternating, and, in the case when an edging comprises a single course, may comprise all tuck stitches.
- the single jersey edgings are preferably of the same knitted construction as each other but may be of different construction.
- the strips of superimposed single jersey knitting formed in the second embodiment of the invention and its variation may comprise all knitted stitches or may comprise knitted stitches and tuck stitches.
- the latter provide a reserve of yarn which helps the strips to accommodate in length to the greater length of the finished join, particularly on wide-angle joins.
- the single jersey edgings, and one or both of the two superimposed strips of single jersey knitting, when provided, are knitted using the same yarn, or one of the same yarns, employed to knit the main double jersey areas of the article. It is, of course, possible to use other yarns for these edgings and/or superimposed strips of single jersey knitting, but it will then be necessary to supply such other yarn or yarns from one or more additional yarn carriers on the knitting machine.
- said superimposed strips of single jersey knitting are provided, there may be advantage in knitting one or both of them with a special effect yarn, for example elastomeric yarn, high bulk yarn or latent crimp yarn. The use of such special effect yarns make it still more difficult to see holes along the join between said areas of the article.
- the method of the invention is of particular benefit for joining the double jersey edges which, if left unjoined, would meet at an angle of greater than 90 degrees, or in the case of convexly-opposed curved edges would have tangents to those curves which meet at an angle of greater than 90 degrees.
- the invention includes a knitted article comprising a join produced by the method according to the invention.
- it includes an upholstery cover, for example a seat cover for the seat base or seat back of a vehicle seat, which is shaped to fit a three-dimensional support which it is to cover by a method which includes the knitting of joins by the method according to the invention.
- double jersey fabric is knitted on a flat V-bed knitting machine in the same way as described with reference to Figure 1 up to the course 3.
- the knitting is then narrowed, by making needles progressively inactive, to produce the edge 8 which terminates at course 5a.
- the needles made inactive retain their last knitted loops.
- an edging 14 of single jersey fabric is knitted on one needle bed of the machine, this edging being integral with the fabric piece 4 along the edge 8 and being knitted on two needles in each course from course 3 to course 5a.
- the needles which were brought back into action upon completion of course 5a are again made inactive while retaining their last knitted loops.
- the fabric piece 6 is then knitted in double jersey structure by progressively re-activating needles in the direction from right to left, as viewed in Figure 5, to form the edge 9.
- single jersey fabric is knitted on two needles of one bed of the machine to produce an edging 18 of single jersey fabric, this edging being integral with the fabric piece 6 along the edge 9.
- the edge 19 of the single jersey edging 18 is joined to the edge 20 of one of the strips 15 (the lower strip 15 shown in Fig.6), as indicated by the chain lines 10b.
- the other strip 15 (the upper strip in Fig.6) is joined directly to edge 9 of the fabric piece 6.
- the strips 15 and/or the edgings 14 and 18 it is not always necessary for the strips 15 and/or the edgings 14 and 18 to extend right up to the point F. Especially in the case of articles in which the edges 8 and 9 are convexly curved (as in the article of Figure 4), it may only be necessary for the edgings 14 and 18 to extend part of the way from the points B and D, respectively, towards the point F. If the strips 15 are provided, they also may only need to extend part of the way from the line BD towards the point F.
